Imaam Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) was asked: “Do you have an advice for the beginner student of knowledge?”

Answer:

“The advice to every person is that he purifies his intention for the sake of Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) and his intention should neither be leadership nor prestige, nor wealth; rather his intention should be the removal of ignorance from himself and others. And he should establish the religion, defend and guard it. This is the most virtuous thing.” [Liqaa Al-Baab Al-Maftooh 226]
